Puncheon, but I suspect it'll be Chaplow. 4* options, Guly, SDR, Chaplow and Punch and we're struggling to find a fit. Jokes. Do we have any yoof players we could use? *EDIT: After belatedly reading the rest of the thread, I'd forgotten about Falque! Start Rickie on the right and have Barnard up front with Billy! Done.

SOUTHAMPTON : Crystal Palace (A) ; Reading (H) ; Peterborough (A) ; Middlesboro (A) ; Coventry (H). - We'll get 4 points in the games at Palace and Posh, and a win at Coventry. So 7 points. READING : Brighton (A) ; Southampton (A) ; Nottm Forest (H) ; Crystal Palace (H) ; Birmingham (A). - 10 points for Reading here, their loss coming on the last day, by which time they'll have the title sewn up. WEST HAM UNITED : Birmingham (H) ; Brighton (H) ; Bristol City (A) ; Leicester (A) ; Hull City (H). - 10 points too for West Ham, their loss coming in their next match at Brum ( and thus a quick indicator as to whether I'm right or not.) Ergo, we'll get promoted, but with the poorest run in form of all three teams, and by just 1 point. It's so close, predictions are very hard to do! It may, MAY, come down to goal difference, in which case we're currently better off. If we do get defeats, they'd better be little one goal ones, not 3-0 like against Blackpool last week. all predictions above are IMO.

If that's the case, we only need one more win to get promoted? I'd take that.

I hope Morgan's OK. I'm not looking forward to these next 5 games. I have West Ham friends and Reading friends that are ready and waiting to rip the wee out of me for Saints failing to go up. We MUST get 4-6 points from the next six games - at the moment we're giving West Ham fans hope.

Can't even beat the Skates. Will we ever have bragging rights? (TM RP)

Come on SAINTS FFS. Must get a win here or the world will implode.

We're not going to win this. I just opened a box of Lucky Charms and a leprechaun jumped out and kicked me in the nuts. It's a bad sign I tells ya.

Given up on the streams, and I can't seem to log on to whispering Dave, so I'm just going to pound the treadmill for a while and check up on the score in an hour.

Morgan off, Cork on

Yellow cards flying. Maguire for Pompey booked. I can see a sending off this game...

Morgan down. :-(

Hammond booked. Awful loss of the ball. Lallana going down to easily. But Pompey can't put a pass together yet.

Come on Phil, PAY for the last hour! Cheapskateism is a Pompey trait!

I'm ill, and I'm due at work later. This is the only two hours I have to myself today - let's hope Saints make it worth it. Win today, and we're potentially only two more away from promotion!

Disgraceful behaviour. Why can't Saints fans and Pompey fans just hold hands and prance about gayly?

Just woke up, and I had a dream we were winning 6-0 at half time, which actually ended up as the final score. Mind you, we had a couple of our academy players in the line up, who were also the scorers, and we had a new signing playing called Charles Dickens.

WE know that, the live tables will tell us so, but the Skates will think we're morons because Reading sit top of the league. The live table will mean **** to them - they'll see it as it is currently. Commence rioting over whether or not we're actually top.

Sorry Adrian, but I'm in agreement. The nPC title would be a great trophy to win, and a delightful bonus, but at this stage of the season, with six to play, we should only be concerning ourselves with promotion. I want us and Reading to go up, and if you asked me now, I'm not fussed as to which order. If you offered me second, I'd take it. Perhaps my bottle is going in my old age! My point of view on this, is that the title will most likely be decided naturally anyway, when Reading come to SMS. The winner of that game will probably have the title sewn up. As for Reading's game today, I wasn't too fussed. What I really want is for Barnsley to avoid defeat today and Saints to win tomorrow, and we'd only need two more wins from 5 games to guarantee us promotion.

A couple of people at work suggested them too. I saw basic ones on sale at the pharmacy, but I see some sites on line that sell them too. I might have to have a try on those.

How did you quit? After years of threatening to give it up, I'm more determined that ever to give it up once and for all. Should I be buying up all that Nicorette stuff? e-Fags? Replacing fags with sweets? What works? I have tried cold turkey before - nigh on impossible!

I watched Hall Pass yesterday. That's my kind of humour, easy to watch and a bit gross out. I won't ruin it for anyone, but I laughed for ages at the scene where one of the lead characters takes a lady back to his hotel room. Good old Farrellys. 8/10

A teacher caning anyone nowadays would probably end up dead by the hand of his pupil. As for punishing kids, I don't have any yet, but as they're my kids, I'd like to be able to slap them if they were naughty, as my parents did to me. In fact it was my mum that dished out the punishments, using a slipper or flip flop. My dad rarely punished my sister or I, but just the threat of a spanking from him was enough to respect him - he was only called in to do it by my mother if we were REALLY naughty, like the time I spat soup into my sister's face. It was an accident.

Never has an article about someone so pretty featured a photo of someone that looks as if she's had her nose punched in repeatedly by a 6'6'' bouncer. (The Samantha Brick Article, not the OP's!) That she's married to a caveman says a lot about her looks too. I've seen fitter 60 year olds.

Both good ideas. But it's more a case of me WANTING her to get the lady shaves, so I can do my bikini area.
